Jules Migonney (22 February 1876 – 5 July 1929) was a French painter and engraver known for his portraits and Orientalist scenes.
Life and work
He was born in
École nationale des beaux-arts de Lyon, where he was a student of Jean-Baptiste Poncet. He then studied with Léon Bonnat in Paris, and worked in the studios of Eugène Carrière. He also collaborated with Léon Carré, Charles Dufresne and Léon Cauvy
.
In 1909, he was awarded the
Moorish
culture. His work was interrupted from 1914 to 1918, when he served in the French Army, and there is a distinct difference in his pre- and post-war styles, the latter being more subtle.
After 1925, his health began to decline, and he became increasingly dissatisfied with his work. He committed suicide in Paris in 1929, leaving a note that said "J'ai tout sacrifié à l'art, il me tue" ("I sacrificed everything to art, it has killed me").
Many of his works may be seen at museums in
Centre Georges-Pompidou
.
